Walk through one of the best examples of semi coastal forest on the east coast of the North Island on this loop track - it's suitable for older children.
The route
Wander through the 374 ha Mahia Peninsula Scenic Reserve to a lookout that offers visitors excellent views of the Wairoa Coast and the reserve. The loop track takes you through one of the best examples of semi coastal forest on the North Island east coast. Tawa and kohekohe forest is varied with stands of nikau, rimu, rewarewa and a fern flanked, picturesque stream. There is a picnic area part way along the track. It's a perfect spot to stop and have a break beside the stream.
